Portal Gun

BEEF!!! · Post by **BEEF!!!** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 6:59 pm

Well me, Patrickssj6, and Locke have been working on creating a portal gun for a couple of days now. The idea came from Locke who saw a video on youtube (http://youtube.com/watch?v=if3Qv2tHyfA).
Unfortunately the BLAM engine doesn't allow us to replicate this as close as it can be.
This is what we have gotten http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqY8H7CdSXg .
This was done through an external application with no modding to the map at all.

Wierd.
I read a tutorial on using weapons for teleport the other day....

Presumably not the same technique as here though, as it didnt involve any memory hax.

Very Cool!

L33T! Wish I had skillz like that.

EDIT: It's a less awesome (but still amazing) version of the portal gun that G-Mod 10 has. Probably only less awesome because you don't have the awesome physics and graphics engine that HL2/G-Mod has.

This is where we (more Locke) got the idea from.Funny thing is that is NOT the HL2 engine as we know it.Garry's Mod Team made another one for HL2 and the funny thing is that it wasn't as good as the one made for UT04.

Another engine is better then the one is was planned on XD

That's pretty awesome! So do the teleports disappear after a certain period of time or are they there for the game?

JK-47 · Post by **JK-47** » Sat Nov 25, 2006 8:41 am

They are there until the game ends.

Hmmm... that would throw off a lot of people, stepping into invisible teleporters and all. Is there a way to make a teleport weapon similar to the one in UR2004? Where you shoot and where ever the disc lands is where you warp to? That way players don't find themselves randomly being beamed across the map. Or you know, the one actually listed in the first post of this topic would be perfect if the teleports had maybe a 3-5 second life span once they've been paired

Is it possible for Halo PC?

I don't think so.

The teleports disappear after a second set of teleports are shot.

That's totally wicked, BEEF

So how did you time them? Heck, I'm still trying to figure out how you were able to replace the plasma splash by a warp. lol. In the words of SNL's Trebek..."Simply stunning."

We can manually place them eg Home Key = Input Tele and End Key = Output tele
